County Commissioner. Having lived in thiscounty nearly all my life and never having asked for, or held, a county office, I have taken this opportunity to offer myself as candidate for County Commissioner, subject to decision of the Republican County Convention. DELOS BURLINGAME. Sizerville. Pa.. Feb. 20, 1899. The State Treasury is no longer a club in the hands of the Quay haters. They have used it in past campaigns for all it was worth. They have lost their only amuni tion. Any honest man of ordinary intelligence can run the State Treasury, thanks to the law that a Quay Legislature passed. Under that law there is absolutely no op portunity for manipulating State funds. The public money is placed in banks and the interest upon that money is paid into the State Treas ury. It is all very simple, indeed. So there is really nothing for the insurgents to fight about, and we don't wonder that they are willing to take almost any candidate that the other side suggests, only they want to know the name of that candidate in advance so they can be in at the start and give the im pression that they are really win ning a victory.—Philadelphia In quirer. WASHINGTON LETTER. From our Jicyular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, May Bth, 1899. President McKinley has gone to tin- Virginia Hot Springs where lie and Mrs. McKinley will remain for about two weeks, lie is not sick, and, although the rest is taken by order of his physician, it is more in the nature of an exemplification of the adage "An ounce of preven tion is worth a pound of cure," than because it is an absolute nec essity at this time, lie is run down and has recently been a suf ferer from rheumatism, and it seems an impossibility for a Presi dent to get any rest in Washington. In case there should be any urgent necessity for his presence, he can reach Washington in eight hours. Before leaving, President McKin ley approved the report made by the Military Court of Inquiry, which will at once be made public. There is no truth in the rumor that Gen. Miles is either to be re moved from the command of the Army or court-martialed as a result of the report. Judging from the latest Philip pine advices, the end is near, and no surprise would be felt in official circles should Aguinaldo's formal surrender occur any day. The rebels have acknowledged themselves fought to a standstill, and were it not for the efforts of Aguinaldo and the other Filipino leaders to secure promises that they would be given positions under the local government, similar to those which have been given to Cuban officers in Cuba, the surrender would have taken place before now. They will get no promises other than the general one made by the Philippine Commission, that pend ing the final disposition of the matter by Congress, the islands would be given home rule to as great an extent as might be found consistent with American interests. The semi-oflicial announcement that Admiral Dewey contemplates an early return to the I". S., is token to mean that he sees his services will not be needed over there much longer. President McKinley hasn't told anybody that there would be an extra session of Congress, simply because he has not fully decided to call one. lie has talked the matter over with prominent Republicans and has intimated his belief that circumstances will probably make it wise to call Congress together in advance of the regular session in December, and has advised Sena tors and Representatives to make their plans accordingly. This is as far as the matter has gone. There There may or may not be an extra session, but the probabities favor one. There is lots of work ahead of Congress, and if there is no extra session, the house cannot hope to get down to business be fore the Ist of January, because the new Speaker could not get the Committees arranged before that date. An extra session would en able all that to be done beforehand, and would undoubtedly greatly e\- ncdiate legislation of all kinds. good politics to call an extra ses sion, not only because it would shorten the Speakership contest, but because it would give more time to act on the financial bill, which has lieen prepared by the House caucus committee, and al low it to get before the country and be fully discussed and under stood before the excitement of the Presidential campaign begins. The need of legislation for our new possessions, especially Hawaii and and Porto Rico, is also an argu ment for an extra session. As a rule, Republican Repre sentatives resent the attempt, which they say is being made by outsiders, to make the Speakership contest a sectional fight of the West against the Last, and present indications are that the attempt will fail, and that it will be solely a contest of men in which section alism will not be an important factor. The Folly of F-action. Punxsutawney Spirit. There is something so supremely silly and puerile in the idea of a candidate for a county office, who has nothing whatever to do with the election of a United States Senator, running on a Quay or an anti-Quay platform, that one can scarcely conceive it possible. Think of a man trying to divide his party 011 factional lines, and fighting his campaign under the mean little banner of prejudice, instead of running on his own merits! When we vote for a man for Sheriff, Treasurer. Prothonotary, Register and Recorder, Commissioner or Auditor, we are supposed to do it because we think the man is worthy of it, and would make a capable official. What has his opinion about the merits or demerits of a public man got to do with it? A man who runs for the Legislature when Senator Quay is a candidate for re-election may properly state who he intends to support in order to give the voters a chance to ex - press themselves intelligently. But we care nothing for the opinions of candidates for other ollices on that score. That is a private matter, and of no consequence to the public. A man who will attempt to stir up factional bitterness in Ins party because he thinks it may redound to his personal benefit, is not en titled to any consideration from any source. There was a struggle for liberty of conscience in religious matters which lasted through many terrible and bloody years. It is over now , and the man who bates his fellow on account of his religi ous convictions is regarded as properly belonging to the intellec tual boyhood of the human race. Are we to become less tolerant in politics than in religion? Shall we substitute prejudice for prin ciple, and narrow-mindedness for merit. ALL AROUND THE COUNTY. Buckwalter. Dr. R. P. Heiliuan was seen on our streets last week. Thomas Waddington was seen wheel ing on our streets last week. John Morrison and wife passed through our town last Thursday. Mrs. Beldin and daughter Ruth were Emporium visitors last Thursday. Lonnie Moser was in our town last week spinning old yarns of years ago. Fred Norton left Monday for Cler mont where he has .accepted a position. T. Denney who has a large wood job at Glen Hazel was seen in our city Sat urday. Geo. Skinner who has been in North Carolina for the past year returned home last week. W. C. Heath is the only up to date farmer on West Creek, if he did plant his onions upside down. Mike Hillyard will raise in the neighborhood of 10,000 bushels of po tatoes 011 the strength of the iron works starting up. W. L. Thomas' smiling face was seen in our town last week. It does us good to see you W. L., but would rather see you back in the office of County Treasurer, as tax payers never had a better servant. Claud Lyons and Archie Phesant passed through our burg last week, with the bark peeiers swing, their pants rolled up to their knees and shoes full of teeth, headed for Dixon's Camp, where they have taken a large contract to peel bark and cut logs. TEDDY. Sinnemahoning. It seems that your left hand reporter got a few of us in trouble last week, according to Anthony's view of the case; that the four defunct members of CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY n, 1899. the S. L. 0., was found under Hill's filing bench. If that be correct, we ask out of respect to both clubs, that Em porium L C., will give them a decent burial and not burn them at the stake. That is not according to our laws gov erning our beloved organization. Our club met in regular session last night and the matter was reported to the high mucky muck, and came near causing trouble. Hanscomb wanted to withdraw, but was finally persuaded ■ not to leave the club while good mem- 1 bers were scarce Geo. Decker and Pap Blodget took first premium for services rendered. Pap Berfield ar rived and said that he had been plant ing a new kind of potatoes, that need no washing nor peeling before cooking, as they ground clean and without any skin. He expects to monopolize the potato market in the future. Harry Decker reported that he was champion rat catcher. Out of five, he caught four in a steel trap, the fifth was a sharp old chap. After fruitless efiorts he found the last rat in the garret of his house. His ratship had procured a pint bottle and crawled in, corking the bottle tightly after him. Harry got the last rat. VV. 11. Michaels told a whopper; most too lengthly to repeat. A special invitation to Johnny Hogan, Tom Davins and the whole Irish nine to visit us some meeting night. We will give them some pointers. Now as I there are no farther business the club adjourned to Joe M's setting room for refreshmants. FIDE. Rich Valley. That was quite a ball game 011 Sun | day, F.

The Philadelphia Inquirer ifl receiving a well-deserved shower of bouquets from the friends of lair play. It made a great; battle for right, justice and the unmask- ' ing of hypocrisy and hate, and fully merits public approval and applause.— Lewisburg News. Those Mugwumps who are saying that j Senator Qnay will not take his seat through appointment by Governor Stone will have to revise their guess. Almost every Senator who happens into Wash- ! ington now-a-days says that he expects to j vote to seat the man from Beaver, and j this is not encouraging to the anti-Quay i people. —11 a rrisburg Telegraph. No Constitution, either Federal or ; State, contemplates that a State shall be | deprived of any portion of its representa tion at Washington on account of the failure of the State Legislatura to per form a constitutional duty. The Legis lature of Pennsylvania plainly violated such an obligation. Justice demands that there shall be some relief for the people from the consequences, and it is naturally found in such action as Gov ernor Stone took with commendable promptitude in appointing, United States Senator the nominee of the Republican majority in the Legislature.— Pittsburg Press. It ought to be apparent to even the 112 factionally-blinded opponents of Senator Quay by this time that they are not with j the people—the common people—for j which they presume to speak. Every i primary election emphasizes the fact that I the Beaver statesman is in touch with j those who make up the good citizens j of every community and that the fiery : furnace of abuse and misrepresentation | has only cemented the strong bands which bind him to the body of the peo ; pie. Those who are fighting Senator Quay must realize some day that they have been engaged in a man hunt that was not creditable to them and which can i have but one result—the humiliation of : all concerned in it. It is a fact that no I man in public life has ever done so much for his friends as Matthew Stanley Quay and it would be strange indeed if at this time of unjust attack they should desert him. Senator Piatt and other repre sentative Republicans in the higher branch | of Congress have shown that they appre j ciate the worth of Senator Quay by de claring openly and with much earnest j ness that they will recognize the Gov | ernor's right to appoint by their votes. — | Harrisburg Telegraph.
